Darchinyan vs Donaire

[chito]

It was not the first time that Donaire quit. I remember two other occassions that he did, one clearly, the other vaguely.

Against Z Gorres, Donaire claimed he was unable to see after having been hit by a left hook in the first round. That left hook was preceded by a clash of heads and Donaire wanted officials to believe that the clash of heads was the cause of his vision issues although the ref, Jay Nady, had given him time to recover from the headclash. None of the officials bought it. Officially it went into the record books as a 1st round TKO win for Gorres.

In an earlier contest against another Filipino fighter somewhere in the suburbs of Manila, he quit in an early round after howling so much to the referee that he was frequently fouled. I can't recall who his opponent was but I recall vaguely that it was on a regular Philippine TV boxing show. It seems that the fight has been omitted from Donaire's official record; it cannot be found there. But many can attest that it did happen: there was a live audience and, like I said, it was carried on TV.

It ended as a defeat for Donaire.

In those two occassions, Donaire did not get away with his tricks. He, somewhat, succeeded against Darchinyan as ref Weekes bought it.

i also think that it wasn't that serious, maybe he figured he won't win anyway so it better be this way than losing so badly.

Donaire is a quitter. As Vic was saying the guy is smart. Donaire knew he didn't get not even a single round and he knew he's got nothing in his arsenal to turn the fight around so he went his ussual easy way out, quit!

Yeah, t'was clearly a cop-out pal. It was the same way in the two previous instances I cited. The young man doesn't have the needed tolerance for pain.

I don't clearly know that he has the talent. I haven't seen enough of him. I heard that he went the distance with Gabriel Elizondo, and it seems that's about the only thing he can speak of; not too much, in and of itself, even though he floored Elizondo twice (he was floored once too, as they exchanged KD's in the first round).

But even if he does have talent, it takes a lot more than talent to get far in boxing.

I think he should start thinking of another line of business.

i think his younger brother, nonito, jr will have a better boxing career than this "quitter"

The younger Donaire is taller and fights at SuperFly. Only has one loss--in his second career outing-- and hasn't lost since.

But he has not been meeting opposition that can get anyone wildly optimistic yet. I think he should rachet up the quality of his opposition.

Although he and Glen had an identical KO record of 9 stoppages in 16 wins before Glen met Darchinyan, I think Nonito has the bigger punch. He won over Iido Julio and Kahren Harutyunyan by UD,but he KD'd both on the way to winning. And that 2nd round KO of Kaichon Sor Vorapin in Guam for the WBO Pacific Fly title was simply wicked. 6 of his 9 stoppages were either in the first or the second round.

After two or three more outings, he should be made to face tougher foes. Once he does face the better ones, we'll get to have an idea whether he has the better heart.

Good to see ya buddy!

I was thinking he quit as well. When the doctor was checking him out, didn't he mention that it hurt on the left side of his face. Afterwards, he had the ice bag on his right side?

There was no headbutt at all it should have been a tko,Donaire was getting quite a bad beating,Vic carries alot of power for a flyweight,i want to see him fight Arce,that would be FOTY,i think Vic would win

I'm surprised Vanesboxing and Booger havent replied to this thread yet...

Then again doesnt Vanes go to all the fights?

[Mishra100]

Who watched this fight ?
I didnt.

I read that Donaire could not continue after the 6th round due to a broken jaw. I read it was either from a headbutt, elbow and "NOT" a punch. Someone give the low down on this fight. Darchinyan was well on his way to KO'ing this guy.

It really didn't happen from a headbutt... They were just throwing shots at each other in the 6th round and out of no where Donaire says "I have a broken jaw I can't continue, I quit." I really believe it was a cop out from the clean hard shots that Vic was throwing.
